Help! Accidentally changed C:Users/Default folder name to C:Users/Camera Roll - Windows 10

Question

Ok this is a bit confusing but bear with me.

I bought a new PC and am in the process of moving and organizing all of files onto it. I wanted to move the Camera Roll and Save Pictures folders out of my Photos folder because I don't ever use those folders and was doing this by changing their location in properties. I figured I would throw them into the Users/Default folder and did so with the Saved Pictures folder. I messed it up with the Camera Roll folder and instead of placing it within the Default folder, I changed the name of the Default folder to Camera Roll.

I've tried changing the name in properties back to Default but it says there already exists a folder by that name (because technically the folder is still named Default). I tried restoring it using the previous version tab in properties and this sent it back to the Photos folder but the Default folder still has the name Camera Roll. Oddly, there is now a Camera Roll folder in Photos but it is halfway transparent because it is a hidden folder and when I open it it takes me to what used to be the Default User folder (with Desktop, Documents, Favorites, etc)

What have I done? Should I try and restore to a restore point?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

I do not think that System Restore would fix the problem but this sequence should work:

1. Rename Default to Default.bad
2. Rename Camera Roll to Default
